I found food that had expired in 2008. 2008!!! Ridiculous. My kitchen cupboards were so full I had resorted to leaving the last load of groceries on the counter as there was no room for them. Anything 'chewable' goes in the microwave to protect it from Norman the cat. As of yesterday, my huge outside trash can is completely full to where the lid is up a bit, and my cupboards are half empty. I had room to move the microwave stuff in there and everything. The fridge isn't too bad. It stays mostly full of eggs, so there isn't much room for food to be hidden and go bad.
I still need to clean out the "medicine cabinet" above the stove....i think the other half of it is miscellaneous teas and hot chocolate and stuff. Going to swap it with the mostly empty cabinet above the fridge. I keep the paper plates up there, which i use every day...and they are hard to get to. I only go into the "medicine" cabinet maybe once a month...and its easy access. Sigh.
